When to prune hydrangeasHydrangeas can generally be pruned appropriately in spring, but the pruning should not be too large. The main thing is to prune away some dead and diseased branches. When pruning hydrangea branches for cuttings, keep two leaves and a bud. After pruning, place the branches in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds. If you are worried that the hydrangea will not take root, you can also apply some rooting powder. How to prune hydrangeaHydrangeas need to be pruned in time during the peak growing season. If there are branches and leaves that are growing poorly, they need to be cut off in time to save nutrients and make the plant grow faster. If some branches and leaves on the plant grow too densely and block each other's sunlight, some of them need to be selected and cut off. In addition, if the hydrangea has too many heads, some branches must be removed, leaving only 5 to 6 heads. Otherwise, the plant will lose too much nutrients, which is not conducive to flowering. Hydrangea pruning grows fastIf you want hydrangeas to grow fast, you need to pinch the tips of the hydrangea seedlings in time. After they bloom, you need to cut off the remaining flowers from under the flower head. For those old branches, you also need to cut back 1/3 of their length to promote the growth of new branches. Hydrangea pruning floweringIf the hydrangea grows too many branches, it will lead to insufficient nutrients. The plant will not have sufficient nutrients to differentiate into flower buds and will not be able to bloom. Therefore, the branches of the plant should be pruned in time, leaving only 5 or 6. Hydrangea pruning precautionsHydrangea has a long flowering period, from late spring to early autumn. However, if you want to prune in spring, you can prune from above the flower bud point. The cut does not need to be too long, which is the first node under the hydrangea branch. In autumn, after the flowers wither, you can cut a little more. |
